From: Chen Jie Date: Fri, 15 Mar 2019 03:44:38 +0000 (+0000) Subject: futex: Ensure that futex address is aligned in handle_futex_death() X-Git-Tag: v5.1-rc2~6^2 X-Git-Url: https://git.kernel.dk/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5a07168d8d89b00fe1760120714378175b3ef992;p=linux-block.git futex: Ensure that futex address is aligned in handle_futex_death() The futex code requires that the user space addresses of futexes are 32bit aligned. sys_futex() checks this in futex_get_keys() but the robust list code has no alignment check in place. As a consequence the kernel crashes on architectures with strict alignment requirements in handle_futex_death() when trying to cmpxchg() on an unaligned futex address which was retrieved from the robust list.
